Some unusual techniques going on here - keep it up!
Yes willing to try anything.... almost ready to install all hardware, the neck and start testing for sound
Waiting for my new hot wired pickups to arrive, putting the other lot in first to compare between each set.
Are you going to relic the pickups as well? I have a almost 30 year old Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounder stacked humbucker in the bridge of my Tele. It's been relic'd the hard way by almost 3 decades of picking hand sweat and I think it looks different to any quick relic'd pickups I've ever seen. If your interested I post a picture.
Well I was thinking about it Fret but don't want to screw up the pickups so first I will put them in new and then perhaps decide later, if they look out of place. Pretty easy to do it later I guess when I do a string change.
My vintage pickups have arrived!!!

well done AJ, make sure DB doesn't see it or he may confiscate it. The naughty corner isn't supposed to be fun, its supposed to be punishment ! haha
This is how the bridge pickup has aged on my Tele. It's not totally clear but there are salt stains from the sweat across the top. This has also led to some rusting of the pole pieces. You can also see how the bridge and control plate have aged. The neck pickup has pick scratches across the surface but is in otherwise good nick.
In Will Kelly's book he ages the Tele neck pickup by removing the chrome cover and using the tissue and PCB etchant method but leaves the bridge pickup alone. My guitar shows that it probably would be the other way around in real life but I'd be wary of getting anything that will start to eat through the chrome near the hair-thin wires in a pickup.
